Films For Food returns with a screening of the new grassroots documentary'Failed By The State: The Struggle in the Shadow of Grenfell'

NO CHARGE FOR ENTRY INSTEAD BRING FOOD TO DONATE TO A FOOD BANK

This is our final Films For Food event for the year so as it is Christmas we encourage attendees to donate generously as the donations will go towards the Christmas Hampers the food bank distributes at this time of the year.

Red Fish presents a grassroots report into the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in London where it finds a community building from the ashes of the tragedy to defend itself from the dangers of neoliberal greed and excess. This was London’s deadliest fire in recent history and this documentary looks at how the victims responded to repeated state failings during and after the fire. Featuring former Grenfell resident Ishmael Francis-Murray, survivors of the fire, musicians Lily Allen and Lowkey.

The screening will be followed by a extended Q&A with the filmmakers hosted by veteran musician and campaigner John Pandit (Pandit G).

Prior the screening Potent Whisper will present a screening of his spoken word piece on Grenfell. Also joining us in conversation shall be Zeyad Cred the organiser behind the Grenfell Silent marches

There is no charge for admission but you must bring a bag of non-perishable food which will get donated to First Love Foundation (Tower Hamlets Food Bank).
